First Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 gameplay image revealed

Who needs anonymous sources to leak info when a game's producer does that on their own? At least that was the case with Konami's David Cox who publicly released an off-screen image showing the first we've seen of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 in-game.

"Is it a picture or is it the game?" Cox tweeted above the following pic. Clearly it's the latter.

The peculiar thing about this is that it's an off-screen image from an official source. If Konami wanted to publicly reveal a shot of Mercury Steam's upcoming action/adventure sequel it would ready a high-res image for distribution, not an oddly angled photo with a bit of glare on the screen.

At any rate, it is a pretty image and has a lot more colour than the curiously drab CGI teaser from this spring.
